The next meeting of the Book Circle will be held on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 2 PM, on Zoom. The selection for the month is The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, by Edmund de Waal.

When the writer, a world-famous ceramicist, inherited a collection of 264 tiny Japanese wood and ivory carvings, called Netsuke, he wanted to know who had touched and held them, and how the collection had managed to survive. And so begins this moving memoir and detective story as de Waal discovers the story of the netsuke and also his family. Winner of the Costa Book Award for biography, and a Galaxy National Book Award.

The Book Circle meets each month to explore books on Jewish themes and Jewish writers. For more information, call the shul at 631-477-0232 and leave a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
